Seminar Series
This seminar series for first- and second-year students is held Mondays at 12:20 p.m., B646 Mayo Building. Its aim is to keep students aware of and intellectually involved in the exciting basic biomedical research that is currently in progress, and to help the students choose a preceptor with whom to carry out their Ph.D. dissertation research. Talks are given by MD/PhD preceptors or senior students in the program. Fall 2009 September 14, 2009
